Pitch Labs for Entrepreneurs @ Startup Shell

Styled after a 'pitch competition', this event is for entrepreneurs, and the entrepreneurial-curious. Learn about on-going initiatives from local area founders, and there will be ample time for networking.

This event will bring together start-up founders and enthusiasts in the DMV area for an exciting opportunity to hear about a fellow founder, and give feedback on their pitch and product, and get to network around founders from the area.

At this event we are partnering with Startup Shell, a part of the University of Maryland, College Park ecosystem.
